Mode of Action
Barrier formation: Zinc oxide physically shields skin from wetness, friction, and irritants.

Anti-inflammatory & antimicrobial: Zinc ions reduce cytokine IL-1α and accelerate keratinocyte turnover to support healing.

Hydration & repair: Panthenol absorbs moisture and aids skin regeneration.

Occlusion layer: Petrolatum and dimethicone seal in moisture and enhance barrier function.
